Teacher feedback on Fizzics Science visits

Hambledon Road Public School, Quakers Hill:

Astronomy night

A very BIG thank you to you and your team for the successful workshops you ran on Friday night. After a quick talk with the kids this morning they were still very much on a high about the night. I specifically asked them about the workshops and they thought they were all excellent. As one child put it, "I didn't know we were having professionals run the workshops, I thought it was just going to be the teachers!". I was concerned that by the third workshop they would be a bit flat but you all managed to keep them entertained right to the end. Well done!! I also appreciated your flexibility through out the planning stages and the evening. Thanks again for an astronomical night!

Gresford Public School:

Big Science Big Fun, Lego Robotics & National Science Week

Many thanks for a fantastic day last week. The Big Science Show got rave reviews from both children and adults alike. Our students loved their robotics session and now have more confidence to go on with their explorations.

Kanwal Public School:

Create a Buzz

We would like to let you know that the children enjoyed themselves and there was a lot of discussion afterwards about different activities, especially the 'hair raising' ones. We would also like to let Holly know that she was wonderful, 'outstanding' actually and presented the workshops in such an interesting and engaging manner for the students. The teachers were very impressed. So thanks very much!

The John Berne School:

Liquid Nitrogen / Chemistry / Stars & Planets

I would like to take a moment to express our gratitude for the wonderful workshops Holly provided this week for our students at the John Berne School, Lewisham on Thursday 4th June. It was a full day of 5 workshops - The Liquid Nitrogen Show, The Chemistry Show and The Stars and Planets Show. We couldn't be more pleased with Holly's professional manner and easy going nature. She made her verbal explanations accessible to the students and catered each workshop right at the level of our students intellectual capabilities and behavioural needs.

Holly's vast knowledge and great enthusiasm for all things scientific was evident and truly helped to keep our students engaged and interested for each 40 minute workshop. Keeping our students engaged for this length of time is difficult at the best of times. But for Holly to be an unknown educator to our students in a subject which many of our students find boring and she could still manage to keep them behaving and listening is credit to her wonderful capacity as an educator. The students truly appreciated the knowledge they have gained and the fun they had watching such innovative and exciting experiments. To invite Fizzics Education into our school community to provide these experiences for our students is absolutely necessary and much appreciated.

Manly Village Public School:

Light & Sound

All the Year 1 teachers of Manly Village Public School want to thank you for the interesting and informative Light and Sound incursion that Ben delivered to us yesterday. The children were shown many different examples of how light and sound work such as the Newton's wheel, the slinky and the shadows on the screen. Ben was very professional and enthusiastic and gave simple explanations that the year 1 students could understand. Many thanks for the educational show and we will be sure to recommend Fizzics Education to other teachers in our school and other colleagues.
